In the early stages of *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, Naoe embarks on a quest to avenge her father's death by hunting down the masked culprits. You can opt to begin this journey with the Golden Teppo, and here's a detailed guide on locating Imai Sokyu and the tea merchant in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*.
Assassin's Creed Shadows Imai Sokyu Location
Your search for Imai Sokyu begins with limited clues pointing to his whereabouts:
- He is located in western Settsu.
- More specifically, he's in the southwestern part of Sakai.
Navigate to the city of Sakai on your world map. If you have scouts at your disposal, you can press the square button to send them to the southwestern area of the city, which will help you pinpoint Imai Sokyu's exact location. Without scouts, make your way to Sakai and head directly to the Money Changer District. Use the L2 button to scan your surroundings, and you'll spot a blue dot indicating Imai Sokyu's position.
Following this, you'll engage in a brief sequence where you tail Imai Sokyu, leading to a conversation in a teahouse. This interaction provides Naoe with crucial information about her next target.
Assassin's Creed Tea Merchant Location
After meeting Imai Sokyu, your next task is to find the tea merchant, conveniently located near your previous encounter. Travel to the northern part of Sakai and once again, use the L2 button to scan the area. Look for the blue dot that will guide you to the tea merchant.
Finding the tea merchant is essential for progressing in the quest, as it allows Naoe to learn the intricacies of the tea ceremony, bringing her one step closer to acquiring the Golden Teppo.
That covers all you need to know about locating Imai Sokyu and the tea merchant in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*. For more insights and tips on the game, including detailed guides on difficulty settings and how to romance Katsuhime, be sure to visit The Escapist.
